Upgrade NopCommerce Site

Question

I am trying to upgrade a Nop site on the server. I think it was installed using the Web Platform installer. Whether I use the "No Source" option or I use the Web source code option and deploy / publish, I don't end up with a folder that reflects what is currently on the server AT ALL. My next option is to just install a separate web, go through the install process and copy the files over. The DB upgrade is a no brainer, since it is just an upgrade script. I am obviously missing something.... or not had enough coffee....

Answer 1

The reason for the different folder structure of 3.9 and 4.0 is the .net framework. 4.0 is using ASP.NET Core 2.0.

Folder Structure 3.9 -> 4.0

• Administration >> Areas/Admin
• App_Data >> App_Data
• bin >> all binaries are now in app root
• Content >> wwwroot
• Plugins >> Plugins
• Scripts >> wwwroot
• Themes >> Themes
• Views >> Views

Keep in mind, you cannot use plugins & themes of 3.9 in 4.0 without migrating them.
